We stayed 2 nights when first arriving in Lima and even though we arrived late about 2am we were met with a friendly welcome and cold beers! We were helped to organise bus tickets and recommended a local restaurant. Mary speaks great English but was also happy to help us practise our basic spanish to improve which was nice. Basic... More

I have stayed at La Cirque twice and it was really great both times. The staff is what makes this place, Maria the owner is very attentive and helpful organizing all of our taxis and bus trips for us and providing information for local restaurants and night life. There is also a women who works during the day and her... More

The location wasn't that bad but the room wasn't the cleanest thing and the shower was horrible! The water was freezing cold, there was a open cut out window in the bathroom that went outside and it was freezing at night! It was also so loud at night that even with ear plugs in I couldn't sleep.

A very friendly hostel, family-feel to it. Rooms are cleaned daily, and staff are very helpful. I was very welcome here whilst staying for both business and travel. Roof top bar/breakfast area is really nice. Recommended for visitors new to Lima. Thank you Cirque!

I just spend five days in Lima, a magic city whose 43 municipalities run the gamut from grim to graceful. I lodged in the city’s toniest—and probably safest—tourist area, Miraflores, at the Cirque Hostel, which since April 2012 is under the new management of Maria Alca Mendoza. I am puzzled by some recent unfavorable reviews, as I found this small... More

I had to go to the bus station to pick up my bus ticket (Lima-Arequipa) that I had previously booked. The manager of the hotel kindly offered to get it for me, as she had to go there anyway. I would then visit Lima and pay for my ticket when I got home at night. It turned out that in... More

No English spoken here, locks broken on the dorm rooms, and not about to be fixed any time soon. No wifi, bar, breakfast or anything else their website says there is. Bathrooms are disgusting. Front door security poor. Reception very rarely present in the building. There are many much better hostels in miraflores for the same money.

Well I read the fantastic reviews, and fell for it....Hard! So before I give it to you straight, I'll let you know the good points. The Airport pick-up was great, driver was waiting for us in the airport. Took care of our bags to inside the Hostel. The staff are friendly and polite. (but 99% of peruvians are). The hot... More
